Comment (by agibiansky):

 @goldfire: The GHC parser (when I cloned master) had 48 shift/reduce
 conflicts, and this change introduces no new ones (there are still 48).
 (Actually I just went back to master and recompiled and checked, because I
 didn't check back when I cloned.) Anyway, this patch introduces no new
 shift/reduce conflicts.

 The code

 {{{
 main = - do
   putStrLn "Hello"
 }}}

 causes a parse error with my patch as before, with or without -XArgumentDo
 enabled.

 {{{
 parse error on input do
 }}}
